An AAR

The reason for the previous post and my absence from the blog-o-sphere is that I went on rugby tour with my son's under 16's and a stack of other Dads. Here's a flavor.

Turn 1

Fancy Dress start.
 I turned up as Po, the Kung Fu Panda, no pictures of that.

 Turn 2

The accommodation is a converted barn. No one around, nothing about, so there was plenty of space and time for shenanigans.
The view from our accommodation: Beautiful Much Wenlock. 
The team played at Wolverhampton RUFC. A big thank you to them. They entertained the tourists royally. Despite us all having odd shoes on and put on and took off items of clothing at different scores.


Turn 3





The lads got to the final of the county championship, by default really. The last day of a tour was not the ideal time to play and they got whacked. But here they are getting their 'runners up' medals.

Turn 4

 Well I'm just about getting over it, so there'll be no more modelling for a good few days as I've all sorts of personal admin to do. A tour wasn't the ideal prep.

On a modelling front. If you like model aircraft check this article out.

Thanks for popping by. See you soon, when the shaking stops.

      I certainly did. The Viscountess wasn't impressed when the team came home. But that's rugger and girls for you.

    I think I was put off egg-chasing in my teens, though now I do apprciate it from the comfort of an armchair of course. I've slowly begun to understand that you not only have to have leather balls to play, but they also have to funny shaped..

    The aeroplanes are an amazing historical record of aircraft, such a shame that the collection will be broken up. The detailling borders on the insane - I rarely use the term awe, but I was in awe of this collection.

      Rugger is like Marmite.

      I am also sad about the collection being broken up. The sum of the parts do not make the whole.

    Sounds like a great time was had by all. Did you all make it back with both eyebrows ?
    Don't worry the shaking should in a couple of days.

      I did make it back with all eyebrows, but I did loose half of a front tooth. At least it was a cap.

    Sounds like a lot of fun! +1 for dressing as a panda, but -1 for not sharing that image with us, lol.

    Cheers for the link - some of those devices are quite interesting.
